Re: [Evolution] How to setup esd to have sound ?



Barry (and others !)

I just found the solution...

You need to have the esd daemon running in the background. So I just
typed "esd &" and "esdmon &" in a terminal, and then it worked !
Then, if you type "ps -aux" in the terminal, you will see esd in the
list of the running programs.
I have now to find wich command is the right one to launch the esd
daemon (esd or esdmon ?), and I'll put it in my rc.local file, or in a
startup script...
Good to hear the sound ! :-)

Let us know if it works for you !

Nicolas,

I am having the same problem. In a terminal window, both "play
email.wav" or "esdplay email.wav" work for me, but Evolution sound
notification does _not_.

Hi !

I cannot play a wave file, when new mail arrives. The beep works, but
not the sounds.
I know there is something to do with the esd sound daemon.
When I type "play email.wav" or "esdplay email.wav" in a terminal, it
works...
Do you know how to setup the deamon, or Evolution, in order to hear the
wav automagically ?

Thank you very much for your help,

N.
